Galuzo, V.N. International cooperation within the system of functions of the Prosecution in the Russian Federation:pro et contra

Abstract: The article substantiates the statement on the need to exclude international cooperation from the list of functions of the Prosecution in the Russian Federation. Analysis of the current legislation on prosecution in the Russian Federation (fi rst of all, of the Federal Law “On Prosecution in the Russian Federation” of January 17, 1992 with the later amendments and additions) allows one to refer to eight functions of this law-enforcement body: supervision over compliance with the law, criminal prosecution, coordination of the activities of law-enforcement bodies in the sphere of fi ghting crime; participation of prosecutor in adjudication; participation in the law-making activities; international cooperation; participation of prosecutors in the hearings of the legislative (representative) and executive bodies of the constituent subjects of the Russian Federation, and municipal bodies. In order to achieve brevity one may refer to the function as participation of prosecutors (and other prosecution personnel) in the hearings of the state government bodies; examination and resolution by the prosecution staff of claims and other addresses of the people. The purpose of the Prosecution in the Russian Federation is to implement supervision over the uniform implementation of the legislation in the territory of the Russian Federation.
